SOHH LEFT COAST -

Get Those Dues Paid...Dudes.

Independent hip-hop's premier festival is only on the West Coast. The third annual Paid Dues Festival, founded and organized by Murs, is only a a few days away and we thought we'd give y'all unadventurous ignoramuses a quick lesson on who's playing and why.

(Quick side note, should "unadventurous ignoramuses" officially replace "cookie cutters" as the preferred nick name of the SOHH Left Coast commenters?)

murs1.jpg
* Murs: You guys have clowned M-U-R-S in the past, but this Warner Brothers rapper might just be your little sister's favorite rapper by the end of this year. Part of the Living Legends (click here for your history), he represents witty rap that isn't afraid to stray from the beaten path, while be capable of beating you up, too.

sagefrancis.jpg
* Sage Francis: This guy was writing about Bush f**kery only one month after 9/11. Out of Providence, Rhode Island, Sage Francis is either your favorite rapper or least favorite rapper. There is no middle ground.

lb1.jpg
* Little Brother: These Carolina cats courted controversy when BET famously said they were too smart for their format (to paraphrase, of course). They've since lost 9th Wonder, who's producing for Jay-Z and Beyonce these days, but Phonte and Big Pooh more than hold their own.

jedi.jpg
* Jedi Mind Tricks: One of the most veteran indie-rap acts, Jedi Mind Tricks were making independent rap for nearly a decade before every third cookie cutter was a MySpace rapper. It's challenging--and occasionally demented--rap for an unchallenged society.

living_legends_3.jpg
* Living Legends: They're new album is gonna be bonkers. More to come on that, too.

307Dilated-Peoples.jpg
* Dilated Peoples: If you guys don't know Evidence, Babu and Rakaa then you ain't hip-hop.

hieroclothes.jpg
* Hieroglyphics: Oakland's Hiero crew--comprised of A Plus, Del, Casual, Opio, Domino, Pep Love, Phesto, Tajai and Toure--are a talented group of producers, DJs and MCs who spit in the face of compartmentalization. Don't box them in.

Other acts include Visionaries outta LA, the legendary Boot Camp Clik, Kool Keith, Yak Ballz and more. Check out Paid Dues, at the NOS Center in San Bernardino, CA, on March 22.

  • Heyyooooooooo says...

  • Yeah ... Ego Trippin was ok ... i give it a 3 ...

    i liked the format of the Cd ... and the energy Kurupt and Daz put in was pretty good (especially track 2)...

    Any most of the songs have that classic Snoop Signature mark ... but its pretty obvious where some of the more RnB songs are concerned .... that Snoop used song writers.

    But its aite .. maybe worth the 7.99 special.

  • All these dudes are for real (sage isnt really my flavor but i like him). BTW 9th still produces more underground indie artists (MURS for one). Everybody there is truly sick, Living Legends are exactly what they call themselves, MURS is better than your favorite rapper, Sage is kinda ridiculous, nothing needs to be said about JMT, you all know Dilated is for real and the Hiero are definitely for real (esp. Del who truly is Funkee). And Kool Kieth and the Visionaries are great too. Its gonna be a truly sick festival.

  • Dammmmmmmnnnnn

    Now thats a fuckin show right there. If any of these little jerks whom dont know shit except E40 Snoop and Game went to this show the lyricsm would make their head explode. Not that that wouldnt be a good thing for this blog. lmao!
    "It's challenging--and occasionally demented--rap for an unchallenged society."

    No its sick and insane i'll smash you fuckin brains and rip out your intestines death rap and I love it. Real Talk. Jedi, Boot Camp Click, Circle of Tyrants (ill bill, necro, goretex and mr. hyde), all that stomp you out shit is my shit right now.

    You fuckers should consider yourself lucky to even have a chance to see this show, but you wont.

    Now back to your regularly scheduled stannery, faggotry, and fuckery, courtesy of bitchmade haters and uneducated fan boys.

    1 hunned.

  • because of 50 says...
  • NO THEY NOT STOP LYING SO MUCH. GAME BLEW UP,
    ^^^
    And for the record, that game track with spider loc was back when he was noone and was claimin crip. before Jimmy Iovine told Jayceon that there was already a Crip Rapper named Snoop and he should be a Blood instead since Pac is dead.

    For both of you.
    @G-Unot
    Spider Loc is a sub-par rapper and need to step it up, (not that game is much better, but he is) but Spider is real in the streets. Him dropping a major album with a huge push and him being on Games level will never ever happen. You should be happy for the success he has attained to this point, and when he drops new shit you should let people know. But your constant dickriding is only going to make people hate him. SO just stop it duke, Im sure Spider would agree.

    @Westcoast
    Game is an industry created Britney Spears ass rapper. His persona, his past, is all a creation of the industry so people like you will be obsessed with him. Why was he shelved for 2 years before 50 came along? why was he claimin Crip before? Dude is a fake, he stole his brothers past and made a career. Without ghostwriters he's havin a tough time of it. His ride is close to over, people are tired of his similie name drop flow and his hate / love g-unit dickriding. Plus he's dissed almost every MC from his coast, meanin no colabs and other artists like GMalone are creepin in to steal his shine.

    Both of you, get the fuck over it. Your favorite rapper isnt superman, and in the end, its all entertainment. Your constant dickriding isnt going to change anything, so stop makin yourselves look stupid. or dont, whatever.
